H ab. North-West coast of America. Chamisso.—I possess no native specimens of this or the preceding
species of (Enothera ; but, judging from the figures above quoted, they appear very distinct in the leaves, in
the flowers, and especially in the fruit. Mr. Don (see Bot. Mag. t. 2424) seems disposed to refer the (E.
Romanzovii, which he had previously described in the Bot. Reg., to the Chilian CE. tenella, a totally different
plant: while Mr. Lindley (Hort Soc. Trans, v. 6. p. 94.) is inclined to consider the plant figured in the Bot.
Reg. the same as the (E. -purpurea, and the (E. Romanzovii of Homemann the same as CE. tenella. Hor-
nemann himself says of it “ admodum affinis CE. purpurea.”
